I'm starting to feel like I don't have anything really substantial to post/give anymore. Rating art pieces is always cool, I like helping those who work and produce cool art with my morsel of feedback but besides that, I don't really have a reason to stay. Newgrounds used to be my one and only hangout spot, y'know?
It really only took the General BBS to be shut down and for all the sludge we poasted there to be archived for us to notice how everything was already crumbling down. Everyone I know has been caught up in "drama" at least once. Everyone has a reason to hate someone. It was never a good ambient, despite the laughs we had, as sad as it is.
If anyone is, as Tom suggested, starting a BBS offshoot Discord server... Or even better- if anyone already belongs to one... Good luck keepin' it together. There's a reason why they closed General and history is prone to repeating itself.
That's as far as I'll go about General, any other insights you want from me will be reluctantly given if you ask nicely. It pains me to talk trash about people. I hate these ragtag microcelebrity diva scandals and anyone that endorses any sort of online negativity in tightly-knit communities.
As for myself, yeah, I'm still struggling with the things I struggle with, I am trying to figure out what to do when I finish school... Mainly trying to find a college and the means to enter one... I also mostly draw for myself and I don't have an upload schedule, you guys shouldn't expect me to post at all, and yet here I am with almost 300 followers. Thanks for sticking together but you're not really "following" me, are you? We're standing still in the middle of the woods.

The Supporter Forum acts as the General BBS now. ;3

I'd imagine. Well... Don't do the same mistakes we did, yes? Please strive to make a place where people learn how to get along, forgive and forget.
